Getting scared is useful!

Indeed. As you mature, you will realize that staying on your comfort zone forever is not healthy. You know, the feeling of emptiness because you already mastered the thing that you do. It no longer brings fun since you feel that it became just like a routine for you. So we ought to step up and explore the vast sea of knowledge.

If mankind is advancing naturally over hundreds of centuries then so do you . That's what I realized as I grow older. I realized that being an engineer alone is not enough. I want to become a succesful crypto investor too (a farmer as well). The concept of cryptocurrency really amazed me since day one that's why I'm eager to learn about it until now. Though I already lost hundreds of dollars in here, I'm not totally bothered because I understand that failure is part of of the process and not the opposite of success. I know all the sacrifices will be worth it someday .

You should fear the unknown, not the known. Scams, lies and the like are easily recognizable when you know how they work, but if you don't then that's the time that you should stop. The saying that information is power is not a lie, trust in the information you obtained and make judgements based on that. Like the posts you quoted here, information got them to where they are, and by honing that knowledge, they're basically aware of what to do and what not to do. Never be afraid of doing something, be afraid of doing something that you thought you wanted, but wasn't.

PS: Don't YOLO, like seriously. Especially if you're on the edge and would want to go YOLO on something you don't really know. Successful stories of people doing YOLO moments aren't really YOLO, they had substantial information beforehand that helped them such as experience and knowledge, it's basically a calculated risk or something similar.

You need to satisfy your curiosity to understand how things work. Sometimes you need to engage with the things that you are scared of, or the things that you have no idea about. You will not learn without facing your ignorance and fear about something specifically in cryptocurrency investments.

You need to deal with the reality that scammers and hackers are existing so you need to be aware of it to protect yourselves becoming their victim.

It is easy to determine a scams, their schemes are very sketchy and suspicious if you found them existing randomly in a form of ads or links that are doubtful.

Indeed. Sometimes it's much better to take the risk and engage in the things that scare you because being confident and not having hesitations on what will be the outcome might help you develop and build your skills. It is much easier to know illegal activities like scam or fraud because if you are protecting and avoiding things that will harm you, you will not be a victim of it.

Taking risk is always part of someone's caliber when it comes to dealing with such situation. I dont know but I learned to risk everything and loss something. Most of the newbies are totally not scared to get scammed or just say they never learned.

Scam and fraud will not stop so we must ready ourselves to adopt with these kind of fraudulent activities. Before I was so confident with the airdrop and bounty and even invest on ICOs without even understanding the project but I managed to change that due to experience.

We all have that fear inside but we ain't possible not to manage it if we are willing to make a change. We can't just live that fear always as it will be a reason for our failures. We need to come out stronger and face the challenge we, therefore, need to reject that feeling. It is just our mind who can make it completely vanish and only us who can make it.

We definitely can find more interesting things around if we don't have such kind of feeling live inside.

We are all scared of something, and if you would not do anything to understand the fear, you will live your life being scared, and that doesn't help you grow. It would mean a lot if you try to understand why you are scared in the first place anyway? One example is being involved in trading, you're scared cause you might lose your money, so how can you stop yourself from being scared? Then learn a lot about trading, minimize the risk, learn from others experiences. You might not lose all the fear but at least you minimize it, you gain confidence in yourself, hoping that you can earn from trading. Its better than wanting to trade but scared, you will live a life of what if's. Kind of sucks to live with those "What if's".

Fear can be good and bad at the same time.
 
Fear keeps your feet on the ground and stops you from being overcondfident but at the same time it can turn into panic and turn off your thinking.

I guess it depends on how you react to a little bit of fear. Like when you approach the edge and are about to fall a litle bit of fear will keep you from killing yourself but too much will paralyze you and make you stuck there unable to move back.
